Staying cool
Things seem to move very slowly here or else they run too fast.
The Cancer lark has slowed considerably and my next appointment is nearly a week away. No sweat.
Herself’s breakout from incarceration was a hectic and infuriating business because they tried to make it as slow as possible but I just wanted to get her the fuck out of the place. One crowd insisted her release date wasn’t for another 24 hours while another didn’t know she was being released at all. This all in spite of my reassurance by phone that morning that she was free to go. Then they had to find a doctor to sign her off as they could see I wasn’t going to shift.
Anyhows, she’s home.
And today started off with an appointment with Doc. He has put me on Morphine. Herself is disgusted and green with jealousy.
Later there is a physiotherapist due to torture Herself. Grand. I’ll sit and listen to the screams.
You see, the pain hasn’t diminished that much……
But I just don’t give a shit any more!
Glad to read that you’re still not taking crap from the bureaucrats and to hear that herself is back home (apologies for my clumsy error the other day). What does she make of all the ‘improvements’ that have taken place?
Clumsy error?
She’s impressed with the improvements [those she can see] but actually glad she wasn’t around for all the drilling.
So glad to hear herself is back home. I assume the Irish health and welfare system will look after her while you go in for treatment? Chin up it should be easier from now on!
The Irish health system is generally excellent at ground level. The doctors and nurses are great [when you can understand their broken English]. It’s the bureaucracy and top-heavy management that is causing all the problems. Fire all the management and administration and we’d have a great service!

Thats what you get with the opioids, it still hurts but you don’t care.
Good luck
Reminds me of my late fathers treatment for colds and flu, brandy. It doesn’t help the cold or flu at all, you just don’t mind it any more.
I suppose you will be seeing the honkologist soon.
I hope that you are conscious of the waves of love heading your way.
For truly, no man is an island.
With Daughter in charge, it’s more than a trouble halved at our ages!
She sounds like a fabulous woman- give her our love!
